Today is Towel Day.
Remember a towel is “about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have.”
Towel Day is celebrated every May 25th as a tribute by fans of the late author Douglas Adams. On this day, fans carry a towel with them to demonstrate their love for the books and the author, as referenced in Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
(So remember to keep this in mind with your intergalactic travels this summer because when the Vogons come knocking, you’d better be prepared. It’s part of the galaxy’s ultimate survival kit. )
So don’t panic, Let your Geek Pride Show!
Geek Pride Day is also May 25, A celebration of all things nerdy, techy, quirky, and passionate.
Celebrated on the anniversary of the release of the first Star Wars film, Episode IV: A New Hope (May 25, 1977), it’s a day to embrace your love of science fiction, fantasy, coding, comic books, gaming, and all those wonderful “niche” things that make life fun. Lastly, the day also marks The Glorious 25th of May. For Terry Pratchett’s Discworldfans, it’s a day of remembrance and revolution. Those in the know wear a sprig of lilac to honor the events of Night Watch.
So whether you’re hoisting a towel, wielding a lightsaber, or pinning lilac to your coat – you’re among fellow geeks and dreamers today.
